Some fields in the NextPatient interface allow for HTML code. Some practices have consultants that write code for them or use website templates that write the code for them, similar to how Microsoft Word can easily bold your text.
For practices that don't have those resources but want to write text in bold, italics or underline to get patients to pay attention to important.
Here are some examples of codes you can use. Remember that you have to put the open codes listed below in front of the text you want to be edited. To stop the code from affecting text, IE continuing the italics you have to close the code by doing the same code, but adding / - EG </i> closes the italics coding.
Remember it is very important to use the closing code with the / after you finish typing the text you wanted formatted that way. Otherwise, the text formatting might affect unintended text and make your website or widget less appealing.
Here are some examples of codes NextPatient recommends using:
<b> Bold: </b>
<i> Italic: </i>
<u> Underlined: </u>
<br> This will cause the text that follows to be entered on a new line. There is no close code with /
Another useful code is to make a numbered list. This one is a bit harder.
You start the list with <ul>
then each item starts with <li> and ends with the close code </li>
- <li>milk</li>
- <li>eggs</li>
- <li>bread</li>
Remember to use the close code </ul> after your listed items.
